I have tried a lot of pizza doughs since I started the blog. Some are whimisical, adding in different vegetable purees to color the dough. Some are easy. Some are time consuming. Some are food chain knock-offs. All were delicious. But this one knocks them...

You guys. Hubs is out of town for a week and a half. It’s looooong. Not only do I miss him, but Dude and Spud take the opportunity to complain about absolutely everything I make for dinner. It’s draining. I had some odds and ends left over from dinner before...

When I was in high school I LOVED those frozen pizza rolls. I could take down a box of those things (blistering the roof of my mouth) in minutes! As I’ve gotten older and more health conscious (and lost that high school metabolism!) I’ve stopped buying...

This is one of my absolute favorite stuffed buns, so it is perfect as we wind down bun week. First: pepperoni pizza. Second: the pizza is nestled in a light buttery bun. To. Die. For!!! You’ll notice that the recipe calls for fresh mozzarella, but really...

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a Meatless Monday, hasn’t it? Each year, during the season of Lent, I enjoy exploring and sharing amazing vegetarian recipes. And each year, as Lent comes to a close with the celebration of Easter, I vow to continue making...

I don’t do a whole lot of recipe redo’s on my blog. Sure, those early posts have pretty poor pictures, and the writing isn’t as succinct, but it’s a part of my history, of my cooking journey. When I do decide to share a recipe redo, it’s because I’ve remade...

Grilled pizza is my latest obsession. So when I had some leftover Poblano Pesto, I just knew that pizza was the perfect way to use it all up. This simple vegetarian pizza was so good that my two little picky eaters even ate it (Yay! Mommy wins!), while...

I am an avid reader. To the point that I can barely set a book down once I am intrigued. When I start reading a good book, I live and breathe reading. This is only exacerbated when I am reading a series because when one book ends, another is just beginning!...

I started off this Lenten series with one of my favorite vegetarian pizzas. I have a confession to make. I just *might* have a new favorite! This pizza had all of the loveliness of everyone’s favorite spinach artichoke dip, but is pizza form – what’s not...

I’ve made a red/pink pizza dough in the past. And while I still love that recipe, I often want pizza to be a quick meal (and therefore forget to start the dough early enough!) So, I thought it was high time we had a super quick (less than 15 minutes) flatbread...

Wow! Can you believe it is already Ash Wednesday? For my non-Catholic followers, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. Lent is a season of prayer and fasting ending with Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday. Specifically, Catholics...

Quick Pizza Dough. Yep, you read that right, no kneading, no fuss - quick. This is an excellent dough to begin with if you are just starting to make your own bread. It is super forgiving and the stand mixer does all the work! Do note that this is going...

I always like to make something fun for the kids to enjoy on Halloween. This year’s treat is a Pumpkin Pizza Pockets. These little pizza pockets are quick and easy and perfect to eat as the kids head out the door to go trick or treating. Recipe Notes: *Play...

Last week, both of my boys got colds. Not a big deal, but it meant that the housework was neglected and I had very little time for meal preparation, since I was soothing runny noses and giving lots of cuddles. On days like these quick, easy, and kid friendly...

Yesterday, I got an urgent e-mail from Amanda. You see, someone had to back out of Monday’s Secret Recipe Club reveal at the very last moment, leaving Connor’s Cooking with no partner. There was such an overwhelming response to Amanda’s plea, that Connor’s...

Just last fall I made pizza on the grill for the first time. Grilled pizza takes on a wonderfully smokey flavor and cooks up in no time flat. In fact, you don’t even need a pan! Grilled pizza is a wonderful way to enjoy pizza in the summer without heating...

For the last few years now, fruit pizza has been my 4th of July tradition. Each year, I enjoy making a little patriotic scene on my fruit pizza. This year, I kept it simple and made a star. I absolutely love fruit pizza and it is so easy to make and customize...
